WATER-RESISTANT VEHICLE WITH WATERPROOF ELECTRONICS

Your new Horizon Hobby vehicle has been designed and built

with a combination of waterproof and water-resistant components

to allow you to operate the product in many “wet conditions”,

including puddles, creeks, wet grass, snow and even rain.

While the entire vehicle is highly water-resistant, it is not completely

waterproof and your vehicle should NOT be treated like a submarine.

The various electronic components used in the vehicle, such as the

Electronic Speed Control (ESC), servo(s) and receiver are waterproof,

however, most of the mechanical components are water-resistant

and should not be submerged.

Metal parts, including the bearings, hinge pins, screws and nuts, as

well as the contacts in the electrical cables, will be susceptible to

corrosion if additional maintenance is not performed after running in

wetconditions.Tomaximizethelong-termperformanceofyourvehicle

and to keep the warranty intact, the procedures described in the “Wet

Conditions Maintenance” section below must be performed regularly

if you choose to run in wet conditions. If you are not willing to perform

the additional care and maintenance required, then you should not

operate the vehicle in those conditions.

CAUTION:Failuretoexercisecautionwhileusingthis

product and complying with the following precautions could

result in product malfunction and/or void the warranty.

General Precautions

• Readthroughthewetconditionsmaintenanceproceduresand

make sure that you have all the tools you will need to properly

maintain your vehicle.

• Notallbatteriescanbeusedinwetconditions.Consultthe

battery manufacturer before use. Caution should be taken

when using Li-Po batteries in wet conditions.

• Mosttransmittersarenotwater-resistant.Consultyour

transmitter’s manual or the manufacturer before operation.

• Neveroperateyourtransmitterorvehiclewherelightningmay

be present.

• Donotoperateyourvehiclewhereitcouldcomeincontact

with salt water (ocean water or water on salt-covered roads),

contaminated or polluted water. Salt water is very conductive

and highly corrosive, so use caution.

• Evenminimalwatercontactcanreducethelifeofyourmotor

if it has not been certified as water-resistant or waterproof. If the

motorbecomesexcessivelywet,applyverylightthrottleuntilthe

water is mostly removed from the motor. Running a wet motor

at high speeds may rapidly damage the motor.

• Drivinginwetconditionscanreducethelifeofthemotor.The

additionalresistanceofoperatinginwatercausesexcessstrain.

Alter the gear ratio by using a smaller pinion or larger spur gear.

This will increase torque (and motor life) when running in mud,

deeper puddles, or any wet conditions that will increase the

loadonthemotorforanextendedperiodoftime.

Wet Conditions Maintenance

• Drainanywaterthathascollectedinthetiresbyspinningthem

at high speed. With the body removed, place the vehicle upside

down and pull full throttle for a few short bursts until the water

has been removed.

CAUTION: Always keep hands, ﬁngers, tools and

any loose or hanging objects away from rotating parts when

performing the above drying technique.

• Removethebatterypack(s)anddrythecontacts.Ifyouhavean

air compressor or a can of compressed air, blow out any water

that may be inside the recessed connector housing.

• Removethetires/wheelsfromthevehicleandgentlyrinsethe

mud and dirt off with a garden hose. Avoid rinsing the bearings

and transmission.

NOTICE: Never use a pressure washer to clean your vehicle.

• Useanaircompressororacanofcompressedairtodrythe

vehicle and help remove any water that may have gotten into

small crevices or corners.

• Spraythebearings,drivetrain,fastenersandothermetalpartswith

a water-displacing light oil or lubricant. Do not spray the motor.

• Letthevehicleairdrybeforeyoustoreit.Water(andoil)may

continue to drip for a few hours.

• Increasethefrequencyofdisassembly,inspectionand

Run Time

The largest factor in run time is the capacity of the battery pack.

AlargermAhratingincreasestheamountofruntimeexperienced.

The condition of a battery pack is also an important factor in both run

time and speed. The battery connectors may become hot during driving.

Batteries will lose performance and capacity over time. Driving the

vehicle from a stop to full speed repeatedly will damage the batteries

and electronics over time. Sudden acceleration will also lead to

shorter run times.

To improve run times:

• Keepyourvehiclecleanandmaintained.

• AllowmoreairflowtotheESCandMotorbyaddingventsand

MAINTENANCE

SETTING THE GEAR MESH

The gear mesh has already been set at the factory. Setting the

gear mesh is only necessary when changing motors or gears.

Proper gear mesh (how the gear teeth meet) is important to the

performance of the vehicle. When the gear mesh is too loose, the

spur and pinion gears could be damaged. If the mesh is too tight,

speed could be limited and the motor and ESC will overheat.

Set the gear mesh by following these simple steps:

1. Loosen the 2 motor screws.

2. Put a small piece of paper (A) between the pinion and spur gears.

3. Pushthegearstogetherwhiletighteningthemotorscrews.

4. Rotate the gears to remove the paper. The gearing should

move a small amount.

• Checkthepinionandspurgearforwear.

Cleaning

Performance can be hindered if dirt gets in any of the moving

suspensionparts.Usecompressedair,asoftpaintbrush,ora

toothbrush to remove dust or dirt. Avoid using solvents or chemicals

as they can actually wash dirt into the bearings or moving parts, as

well as cause damage to the electronics.

BINDING

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the

GUID(GloballyUniqueIdentier)codeofasinglespecictransmitter.

The DX2E and SR200 are bound at the factory.

If you need to rebind, follow the instructions below.

1. With the receiver off, insert the bind plug into the BIND port

on the receiver.

2. When a battery is connected to the ESC and the ESC is connected

to the throttle port on the receiver, power on the ESC switch. An

LED on the receiver will flash rapidly, showing the receiver is in

Bind mode.

3. Donottouchthethrottleorsteeringcontrols,asthissetsthe

failsafe settings. The throttle and throttle trim should always be

at the lowest setting during bind mode. Press and hold the bind

button and power on the transmitter. The green LED on the front

of the transmitter will flash within three seconds, indicating the

transmitter is in bind mode.

4. Release the bind button when the green LED flashes.

BIND THST

N R N R

5. The receiver's LED will turn solid when the transmitter

and receiver are bound.

6. Remove the bind plug and store it in a convenient place.

You must rebind when:

• Differentfailsafepositionsaredesirede.g.,whenthrottle

or steering reversing has been changed.

• Changingreceivertypese.g.,changingfromaDSM

receiver

to a DSM2

, DSMR™ or Marine receiver.

• Bindingthereceivertoadifferenttransmitter.

SomeSpektrumreceivers,liketheSR3001,useabindbuttonrather

than a bind plug. The binding process is the same with this receiver,

however, instead of inserting the plug before powering up the receiver,

press and hold the bind button while powering up the receiver to

enter bind mode.

Failsafe

In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use, the receiver

will drive the servos to their preprogrammed failsafe positions (nor-

mally neutral/idle throttle position and straight steering). If the receiver

is turned on prior to turning on the transmitter, the receiver will enter

failsafe mode. When the transmitter is turned on, normal control is

resumed. Failsafe servo positions are set during binding (see BINDING).

SHOCK CLEANING

Oil-ﬁlled shocks will require regular maintenance due to the oil

breaking down or getting dirty. This maintenance should be performed

afteraboutevery3to5hoursofuse,dependingontheconditionsthat

the vehicle is used in.

•Removetheshockfromthevehicle.

•Removethecapfromtheshockbodyanddisposeoffluid.

•Disassembletheshock.CleanthoroughlywithDYN5505.

• Re-installtheshockonthevehicle.

Ride Height Adjustment

In order to check for proper standard baseline ride height, drop the

vehicle from about 6 in above a level work area. After the vehicle

settles, both the front and rear suspension arms should be parallel

with the surface. The ride height is adjusted by adding or removing

the included spring pre-load clips.

Lowering the front ride height increases steering, but decreases

traction. Lowering the rear ride height increases traction, but

decreases steering.
